[SOLVED] Mac compilation v15.12 and master

[sergi]

Hi,

I had some problems compiling SOFA on Mac.

I followed the instruction from Getting Started -> build on MAC (https://www.sofa-framework.org/support/doc/getting-started/build/build-on-mac-os-x/)

Some things seem not to be up to date.

brew install install cmake -> brew install cmake

Then I had to build qt with –with-qt3support. Otherwise the make failed with
sofa/master/build/SofaGui/SofaGuiQt/ui_PluginManager.h:12:10: fatal error: ‘Qt3Support/Q3MimeSourceFactory’ file not found
#include <Qt3Support/Q3MimeSourceFactory>

It seems qt3 was removed, but maybe some dependencies are still there?
ui_PluginManager.h is generated by PluginManager.ui (?) I don’t understand why this header line is created #include <Qt3Support/Q3MimeSourceFactory>

My qt version is qt/4.8.7_2

The options documentation page seems also outdated:

Build Options

for example the option
-DSOFA-PLUGIN_SOFAPYTHON=ON

is now
-DPLUGIN_SOFAPYTHON=ON

Compiler is Apple LLVM version 7.0.2 (clang-700.1.81)

I managed to compile both master and 15.12 (with these modifications), but let me know if something is not right (qt3support?) and I should recompile it!
-> and then maybe update the documentation page 😉

Thanks

Sergi

For the qt3support problem, there were some remnants of qt3 options into the .ui files (namely the line qPixmapFromMimeSource ) which were creating a dependency with qt3 in the generated headers file.
I just committed into the master branch (#2d93de ) and backported into the v15.12 branch (#4ec83a)
It should fix your problem.

Thanks for your feedback !
